Please join us in a Read Across America Spirit Week as we continue to grow the love of reading in our students.  Ms. Sudak has partnered with the student council to come up with these fun filled spirit days!

Middle school art students completed drawings after practicing how to create value changes using colored pencils. Value is an element of art that deals with the lights and darks of a color. Students learned the term "monochromatic" (containing or using only one color) and focused on incorporating as many value changes as possible. Classes also explored incorporating contrast (a Principle of Design) in their artworks. 

The Boonton school district has invited Ashley Bendiksen, a Top Youth Speaker, to present to the school community, on March 8 at 6:00PM in the high school auditorium. This presentation will focus on raising awareness of the challenges our youth face, resulting in the need for increased awareness around mental health issues and strategies for developing a positive growth mindset.  Please join us!

Eigth grade Students For Change representatives welcomed students into the building on Friday with signs and smiles to ensure that students started their day off right!  Messages of "Happy Friday" and "JHS has heart" and "have a great day" encouraged students as they entered the building.  

Any middle school students who are interested in potentially pursing an interest in criminal justice are encouraged to register for this 4-H Crime Scene Investigation opportunity at CCM.  Space is limited so act fast!

Please check your Realtime Parent Portal for second marking period grades.  We are very proud of our students efforts in being the best students they can be!  Also, attendance letters are available to view under the correspondence tab.  Attendance letters are sent out once students meet attendance thresholds.  The NJDOE has prioritized a measure of Chronic Absenteeism that our schools are accountable to.  Chronic absenteeism occurs when a student misses 10 percent or more of the school days in session for which that student was enrolled.  If a student is enrolled for the full school year, acquiring 18 or more absences equates to being chronically absent.  Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
